    Mushroom Biryani South Indian Style

    Is there anyone who is not fond of biryanis! Biryani is a one pot meal with delicious taste. I make different variety of biryani/pulao once in a week at least. I like non veg biriyani more than veg.But this mushroom biryani is the exception.

    I prefer Seeraga samba rice for biryani than basmati rice as Seeraga samba has more nutrients and aroma. Mushroom biryani is the best meat alternative for vegetarians. They are not only high protein packed but also has an awesome taste. Only cleaning the mushrooms takes time, the rest can be done in jiffy.
